Let's Encrypt validation server ? Is this legit?

Help
1

Hi,
My server is being checked out by this agent regularly everyday, is this a legit LE activity?

I do not know why it is checking everyday since I am not asking for new certs everyday at all.

GET

/.well-known/acme-challenge/XXX-XXXXXX_mw2kLrhbGZY-XXXX

User agent
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Let’s Encrypt validation server; +https://www.letsencrypt.org)

IP of the agent

2600:1f16:269:da00:4ec6:1cf7:34d5:6263

EDIT:
Hmm maybe not, investigating. Looks like there has been a problem with one of the domains

You’ve edited your post, but FWIW, it is a legitimate IP.

Thanks, It looks like one of my domains was blocking LE agent, so the script has been trying it regularly.

That IP is one of our remote validation authority IP addresses. These IP addresses are subject to change at any given time as we turn up/down different remote validation servers.
